What Do You Think of a Pinto Warmblood? Experienced Horse People Please Help!!?

is there respectable registries that will register a pinto Warmblood/Thoroughbred cross.
Im just curious im looking into making an investment in a mare that a friend is willing to give me she is wonderful horse to ride great conformation wonderful english horse and a good disposition. she has one of these babies now and its beautiful and huge. Upon me taking this mare she is around 14 or 15 and she has a breeding to this stallion which will be at no cost to me other than ultra-sound and the AI and of corse vet fees. But hey this seems like a fair enough deal.
What do you think? I want to get into dressage. I ride English and Western. I also do some jumping. They have local dressage shows every week where I live. I also have a trainer. I really want to have a foal – I own my own place with a barn arena pasture I have one horse currently who I love and adore but she is a qh short stalky older mare that is one of those push buttons do anything western girl I love her don’t get me wrong but she definatly isn’t a jumper or made for dressage her movements are too choppy.
Im in college my parents fully support me in what I do. I teach riding lessons I would rate myself as an experinaced andvanced rider – ive been riding since i was 8 and taking lesssons. I also show competivly. No one I know personaly owns warmbloods and I have no idea how to know which registries are good and which are garbage or what I can even do with a cross like this is this a good idea? Would this baby be good for dressage? Would it be worth anything? I know warmbloods sell for alot but this would be a cross. hmmmmm. Thanks for your help!
this lady that is giving this mare to me already has a baby out of her by art deco! and the baby is beyond words she is beautiful sensationaly wonderful little girl. silverwood is not a scam! I know that much i just don’t know about pinto warmbloods
where i live its illeagal to send horses to slaughter. Which has made the horse market considerably low because you have all these unwanted unusable horses and nobody knows what to do with them.
could you please give me some more information on getting registered and how to go about it some links would be very helpful! I need to present my idea to my parents tomorow – they are non-horse people very clulesss about all this so i need figures and facts and why this would be benificial. this is something that is very important to me its one of my life-time goals to be a dressage rider.
That horse is an art deco son… Art deco was FANTASTIC.
Every horse I see on that page, I love. Movement, performance, conformation, pedigree… I am just drooling over art deco! I love that horse to death, and I normally don’t like that color at all. Art Deco is one hell of a stud and I’d love to have anything with a drop of his blood.
For a sporthorse, registration doesn’t mean much. You can still compete and do high-level hunters/jumpers with an unregistered horse… you can even go to the olympics on a horse without papers!
These stallions would not go well western at all, but for English they’d be highly competitive… I’d go for it!
((and yes, horses are going for meat right now…. but something with such huge potential is definitely worth breeding))
warmblood aren’t just oh I bred to a stallion or my mare is a warmblood and so’s the stud so my foal will be one. warmbloods have to go through keurings<judging> to get approved for a registry, and there are several involved before you get that approval. untill then you have an expensive possibility of someday.
Try the Pinto Horse Association of America, its a color registry that requires papered sires and dams of pretty much any breed of horse out there as long as you get the requisit 4 inches of white unpigmented skin on the body. You also select what type of horse its going to be registered as.
PtHA gives you your Registered status and no keurings and you get to skip all the keuring fee’s.
papers on the sire and dam, signed breeding certificate<which is on the registration papers you can download and print from their website> and pictures are all thats needed.
This looks like a scam to me. I’m doing more research on that company. Something just doesn’t seem right. Have you done business with them before? Have you checked references?
Right now, horses are going for meat.
With the economy the way it is, people are giving up their horses dirt cheap. Will he be worth anything? Maybe $600 for dog food.
Take the mare if you want her. At this point, it’s not about breeding. It’s about her abilities, and the abilities of the baby. There’s nothing in registries that can tell you the individual animal’s skill.
EDIT TO ADD:
Don’t kid yourself. You know perfectly well that people are loading horses onto trucks and taking them to places where they are slaughtered. You know perfectly well that the horse market tanked just as quickly as the housing market.
Don’t be a silly child. If you’re going to breed a horse into this world, you need to be mature and responsible.
As for figures and prices.
Find it yourself.
Call around.
Call your precious Silverwood Farm.
Prices are going to vary by area anyway.
This is part of being a responsible owner.
Silverwood isn’t a scam. They are standing a few of the most legendary colored warmblood sires out there, like Art Deco.
That being said, have to agree about it not being as fun to raise a baby as you think. And there are a lot of things that can go wrong between conception and birth, and birth and riding age. And babies are more expensive than you’d guess.
